Rider Badly Burned While Pumping Gas - This is Why You Turn off Your Bike When Pumping Gas
[WARNING: This may be hard to watch]
When I first moved to California I hated those fume-catcher-thingies on the gas pumps. They’re designed to re-route fumes back into the pump and tanks instead of into the air. However, If you're pumping gas into a motorcycle, they’re a pain. You have to hold the end of the pump closed like an accordion in order to activate the pump. But after watching this video I’d agree we may need these at all pumps across the US.
On Thursday, a man pumping gas into his motorcycle in Cobb County, Georgia was badly burned when the pump caught fire.
The cause of the fire seemed to be a comedy of errors brought on—I hate to say it—by a man who's lying in a hospital bed right now... stupidity. Yes, the California-only accordion, fume-catching device (not it's technical name) on the pump may have prevented this, but what caused it is obvious.
It appears as though the news station has since edited the video, so you don't actually see the man becoming engulfed in flames.
